I have an HP MediaSmart TV. There is a remote code for it that works for on-off, volume, etc. My problem is with the input button. The code works to get to the input screen but I can't get it to change the selection. I need to be able to go up or down on the input screen but can't. Am I stuck with two remotes here?

No. As I say, I can get the input button to give me the input menu but the directional keys don't work. They just do stuff on the TiVo screen. About the code search -- when do I do that? At the remote screen after I have selected the HP as my TV?

What you need is an old Directv tivo remote, instead a dvr1/dvr2 switch, it has dvr/tv switch. in the tv position, the cursor keys control the tv menu. But then it might not have proper code, since last directv remote dates to 2006.

You're programming the remote to control the Television Set, the TiVo box has nothing to do with it.

Since you are programming only the remote the entire time, it doesn't matter where you are in the TiVo menu(s) when you enter this; you can even be in Live TV, TiVo Central, settings - it doesn't matter.

Does that make sense?

Thanks!

The reason the OP mentioned the tivo menu, he needs more then just the tv input key to navigate the tv input screen displayed on his tv screen, but cursor keys only control tivo. And not the tv. Does that make sense?
